The Trial of Dr. Chua
Chua, 45, has been held in the Camden County jail since September 2006 when he was arrested and charged with the drug overdose death of Jamie Carter III. Prosecutors say Carter, 20, died from drugs Chua prescribed for no legitimate medical purpose.

Carter brought 11 prescriptions to one pharmacy

Johnny Guy, a detective with the St. Marys Police Department, explained the purpose of seizing medical records from Chua's office about one month after Carter's overdose death in December 2005.

Carter's medical records were found stored in the doctor's home, Guy said.

Records show Carter brought prescriptions written to him by Chua to two different pharmacies, Guy testified. Carter brought 11 different prescriptions written to him by Chua to one pharmacy, Guy said.

Jackie Johnson, one of the prosecutors in the case, showed a printout of phone records from the day of Carter's death showing the doctor called the victim's cell phone twice the day of his death.

Phone records also show Chua used his personal cell phone to call Carter the day after his first medical examination on Sept. 23, 2005, Guy told jurors.

The calls from Chua "increased in frequency" in subsequent weeks, he said.

Chua also sent multiple text messages until the time of Carter's death, Guy testified.

Guy is expected to continue testimony during cross examination after the jury returns from a break about 2:20 p.m.

Actually, Carter's medical records were found in Dr. Chua's office on the second floor according to testimony today - not in Chua's home.

What was in the text messages the two exchanged?

Was the relationship anything other than professional?

What was the purpose of the visit to NY that they made together?

Why didn't Chua get Carter into detox?

The trip to New York was because Dr.Chua's niece was here visiting, the trip was already planned before Jamie was in the picture, once he was around and he and Dr.Chua shared the same birthday(which was while in New York) Dr.Chua took him with him. Nothing more than that..

These documents are most reliable when obtained through the bankruptcy court where they were submitted under oath.
Your family must be a top priority after your business has closed, so don't forget about them. If you start out on your own you would need to figure everything out alone and you would not have anyone to turn to for help.

Once the game is 80% complete you will need to work on the sound. This way you are not disappointed when you get residence, and you won't have to make a excursion back to the shop.
